The opponents of the constitution of the United States of America were known as the anti-federalists. They did not want a strong federal government because they wanted to keep sovereignty to the states. Furthermore, they thought it would be hard for one body to govern the different needs of the thirteen states. With one federal government ruling above the states, the liberties of some states may be taken away for the good of the nation as a whole which was against the individual rights of the states.
